Is this a genuine MEGA 2560 R3 made by Arduino in Italy?
3264
The Arduino MEGA 2560 R3 that I received from MP3Car was a genuine board made by Arduino in Italy.
3265
The one I got was from MP3Car store, and it was the genuine board. At work we received four units that were not. I did not see the invoice or the box and don't know just who fulfilled it. MP3car store tells me that they have ended commingled stock to avoid this problem. I would send back anything that was not genuine as they usually have bad solder joints and should be much cheaper. One thing to buy a knock off, but to pay full price is robbery.

I ordered mine choosing MP3Car as the seller, and yes, it is the legit edition as far as I can tell.
3267
Yes. The one I received from Mp3Car Store and fulfilled by Amazon was a genuine board from Italy. But, ..., to be more specific, it was manufactured by Arduino Srl (Arduino.org), not Arduino LLC (Arduino.cc). Apparently Arduino Srl and Arduino LLC used to be partners of some sort but have gone their own separate ways.

The answer depends on who you order it from and who fulfills it. Mine was not despite selecting MP3Car as the seller. I later ordered it directly from MP3Car and got the genuine item.

The board has a "Made in Italy" written on the surface. I was concerned about quality, not geography. Worked on a few projects with no problems. Price is reasonable.

I can't speak for theirs but I'm pretty sure if it's really cheap then it could POSSIBLY be a knockoff. The one I purchased from Mp3carstore checked out as authentic with all the ways to identify a clone. Doesn't mean the ones cloning didn't buy better parts but I haven't had any problems with mine from said seller. But if you want guaranteed 100% "real" I would suggest checking the arduino website for a list of their approved distributors but you will also pay the premium going that route.

No. The board I just received today that was sold by Mp3Car Store (fulfilled by Amazon) is a counterfeit/fake board. It meets just about every indication of a counterfeit board described here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Products/Counterfeit I am returning it and going with Karlsson Robotics.

AMAZON may not ship to Italy, but there is a CE spec machine produced by HB. You may have to order it from a restaurant supply store.

There is no way of just looking at this and being able to tell the differance, you need to verify the PN# and machine effectivity by serial # to know if this is the correct part.

I have one and it is 256bit, I am also getting another and it also says 256. Hope that helps

I'm not sure ... I'm hoping that it mates seamlessly with the Rainbowduino.

Buyer beware, if it doesn't say Arduino on the device it's a knockoff. The crappy knockoff will not work with all versions of Windows without some driver issues. I had trouble with mine on Win 7 64bit I was only able to upload sketch programs twice, now it will not properly recognize the module at all in Windows, like the driver just disappears from the device manager as well as on the device itself. Some results vary with device version according to forums, but I recommend spending the extra $15 or so for the legitimate Arduino Nano module. It just works like it's supposed to. As far as I know there's no fix as of yet for the knockoff versions. Buyer beware, if it doesn't say Arduino on the device it's a knockoff.

From my testing on 2 units these are really 8GB faked to read as 256GB. Formating does not matter, these are FRAUDS!

yes they are, the actual printing on the chips are B1401 817CG but I can't seem to come up with a valid google search on the part number, this is no real schematic with it, but the hookup is pretty simple

I use it with an Arduino Mega 2560 and a UDOO board (Linux +Due). The processor is almost irrelevant; its a setting in the IDE, really. The key is the additional signals available from the new headers on the third edge -- a Uno only has headers on two edges.

To the best of my knowledge, it is an actual Lenovo (IBM) product. My SODIMM works perfectly.

I rechecked information and found country of origin specified as Italy at http://www.reliablecorporation.com/Products/Home-Tables/The-Board-C60. This should stop inference that country of origin is China. Just bad info by someone who does not investigate fully. The same information is given for the C-30 Board (which my wife has been using for about a year and just loves).

Massimo Banzi has posted the following concerning counterfeit Arduinos on his blog post here http://www.massimobanzi.com/2012/11/hall-of-shame-blatant-lies/He points out:Arduino users should beware of Amazon.com, they list Arduinos as provided by CanaKit (a legitimate distributor that does a great job) but when they ship they will send anything other "sellers" have listed as Arduino. This means that somebody wanting to buy an original board will instead receive a counterfeit product against their will.

This is just the basic board, no power or usb cable. The one i got was real made in italy. It was delivered just as pictured. Notice the www.arduino.cc Made in Italy just above the CPU. BTW also got a made in china one and have had good luck with that using the Arduino IDE.

I think is an Italian brand made in China, as everything else..... But don't buy it, is crap! I bought it, use it three months (once a week at most), and it is not working!
